I found myself reminiscing on my own childhood and adolescence at many points, and laughing heartily at many others. com as soon as I heard about it, and the blog that followed, and I remember some of his twitter storms. That much explains a lot of how his humour transfers to the page, but also does much more to cement the earnest nature, the honesty and the life experiences Limmy learned along the way. Funny that he comes from really near ek and I knew everywhere he was talking about when he was talking about his childhood.No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. And it is the most brilliant piece of unintentional comedy, a complete parody of the intelligentsia class. What makes it different is that many of the personal hardships Limond has overcome in his life will already be well-known to his fans. it's definitely a very interesting read and I certainly recommend the audiobook version of not just this book but all of his previous books - It always adds a extra level of depth to hear him speak the words, and he's brilliant at it.

Because, as well as being a compelling first-person account of living with mental health issues, Surprisingly Down to Earth is, as the title promises, very funny.It can be great to hold people to account and make them pay for doing or saying something horrific, whereas before there was fuck all,” he says. People have told me it does help to hear other people talking about mental health, even though I don’t give out advice on how to sort it out. The lows like his girlfriend seeing him out drunk and just ignoring him as well as his general struggles with jobs/life are fascinating to hear. I said I didn’t think I would be able to do that, so I suggested an autobiography instead, with that stuff included.

After continuing his comedy work for several years, Limmy was commissioned by BBC Scotland to create a sketch show, Limmy's Show.

The other reason Lloyd Cole didn't like the book was because he didn't find Limmy, as a person, "likable" and I have to disagree with him here. Yet, you’re still mimicking real life and trying to experience what it’s really like, so people can see it as twisted.
